   Right. I've found that DOS commands can be executed from the SYSTEM32   
   folder under Windows. The other day I formatted a USB memory stick under   
   Vista by using a windows command prompt and running the 'diskpart'   
   partitioning executable. What I was noting above was that W2K still does   
   have a DOS folder, while later versions of Windows may not.

   Change to the /windows/system32 folder and try that command. XP should   
   have it's own DOS...
